Detective Dave Swick was terminated in October 2019 following an internal investigation into inappropriate social media posts. Swick was among several officers identified by the Plain View Project for sharing posts that were bigoted or glorified police brutality. His posts specifically targeted Muslims and Black individuals, including a meme suggesting violence against protesters in Ferguson, Missouri. The department determined that such behavior was unacceptable and did not align with the standards expected of its officers.
